* [Viengoos: A Framework for Stakeholder-Directed Resource
- Allocation](http://walfield.org/papers/2009-walfield-viengoos-a-framework-for-stakeholder-directed-resource-allocation.pdf). By
- Neal H. Walfield. Submitted to EuroSys 2009.
-
-General-purpose operating systems not only fail to provide adaptive
-applications the information they need to intelligently adapt, but
-also schedule resources in such a way that were applications to
-aggressively adapt, resources would be inappropriately scheduled. The
-problem is that these systems use demand as the primary indicator of
-utility, which is a poor indicator of utility for adaptive
-applications.
-
-We present a resource management framework appropriate for traditional
-as well as adaptive applications. The primary difference from current
-schedulers is the use of stakeholder preferences in addition to
-demand. We also show how to revoke memory, compute the amount of
-memory available to each principal, and account shared
-memory. Finally, we introduce a prototype system, Viengoos, and
-present some benchmarks that demonstrate that it can efficiently
-support multiple aggressively adaptive applications simultaneously.

Refinement with Marcus

(submitted to HotOS 2007).
-Commodity operating systems fail to meet the security, resource
-management and integration expectations of users. We propose a unified
-solution based on a capability framework as it supports fine grained
-objects, straightforward access propagation and virtualizable
-interfaces and explore how to improve resource use via access
-decomposition and policy refinement with minimum interposition. We
-argue that only a small static number of scheduling policies are
-needed in practice and advocate hierarchical policy specification and
-central realization.
